“Secrets of Culinary Excellence on an International Yacht” returns to Cap d’Ail from April 14 – 19, 2014.

The flagship training center of Ducasse Education launches 2014 courses for its popular culinary & pastry arts training program entitled “Secrets of Excellence on an International Yacht”. The comprehensive program is aimed at experienced yacht chefs and crew who will enhance their culinary skills and galley food preparation.

Ducasse Education is working in collaboration with leading Antibes-based crew recruitment service YPI Crew to provide these specialist training events.

This Spring on the French Riviera the top chefs at Ducasse Education offer intensive two and four-day classes. Chef’s at the company promise a hands-on approach to develop expertise for immediate results.

“Yacht chefs work for a select international clientele who not only expect the best but demand excellence for every meal” said Executive Chef Philippe Gollino, Centre Formation d’Alain Ducasse (CFAD).

The courses are designed specifically for yacht chefs addressing the needs of some of the most demanding clientele in the world and will nurture skills for any event on board or on shore.

“Due to special requests and events, it’s critical that yacht chefs & staff know efficient, time-saving techniques and recipes that work with their specific conditions and meet client needs for exceptional cuisine in terms of quality, flavour, service and presentation” explains Gollino.

The four-day course covers everything from plated to finger food cuisine. Chefs will learn techniques to produce flawless international cuisine as well as how to design menus for demanding clientel.

The two-day course is focused on pastry and confectionary techniques and recipes. Chefs will discover how to develop a variety of classic and contemporary desserts to suit various fine dining situations.

Laurence at YPI CREW is the crème de la crème of Superyacht Recruiters. I have been involved with her since her first interviewing me as a potential Captain for one of her available positions in 2005 and since then she has become a close friend and my number one choice of recruitment agency whenever I look for crew.

The recruiters at YPI CREW know their industry inside out and will always look for the best solution, they offer unbiased council and advice in the successful placement of crew ; you can relax in the knowledge that only qualified vetted candidates will be put forward. YPI CREW have also played a major part in my own career and professional choices over the last 14 years and it has always been complete pleasure to work with Laurence and her team.

Captain Richard Carr, MY SERENITY J

From the day I entered the industry the recruiters at YPI CREW have always worked hard at finding me great positions as an officer. Not only are they extremely professional and helpful, but Laurence and her team have also become very good friends over the years, and I can highly recommend using them.

Captain Carl Westerlund, 101m M/Y I Dynasty

YPI CREW only presents me with a small pool of perfectly vetted candidates, well matched to my requirements which is a great time saver. I can't think of a single crew member I employed through a YPI CREW recommendation, that I didn't work with successfully for an extended period of time.

Captain Carl Westerlund, 101m M/Y I Dynasty

Laurence and the YPI CREW team have been a great help over the past ten years. Their professionalism, care and industry knowledge makes all the difference and the crew recruitment for MY FORMOSA has been outstanding. The YPI CREW recruiters are key players in the industry !
